This is similar to the news i received, that the Shell operators were transferred onto PCSB.

Confirmed.
I have a friend who is now currently under pcsb payroll.
Change of coveralls and also paycheck

you're not even in shell or pcsb and yet talk cock.

I concur with you. hihi.
This is what happens when you read to much fake news in FB..

Driller>toolpusher>OIM>Rig Manager>Operations Manager>Vice President and so on...hehehe

Or sometimes;

Driller>toolpusher>companyman(drilling supervisor)

sorry i noob, just wanna ask this. i heard from my friend that drilling engineers will also become drilling supervisor. is this the same drilling supervisor you mentioned or are they two different things with the same name?

Thats after the driller, can someone stated roles before the driller either than fast track program?

Tq

Yes but not always the case. Most of the drilling engineers are station in the office, doing well program and reports to drilling superintendent. I know some operating companies have a fast track program for their drilling supervisor (starting from wellsite drilling engineer, if i'm not mistaken)

Sometimes, operating companies recruit someone from DD (directional driller) or Mud Engineer to become drilling supervisor.

Traditionally;

Galleyhand>roustabout>roughneck>derrickman>pumpman>assistant driller>driller

Thats for drilling department, we have other such maintenance dept (mechanic, electrician,ET), marine dept (barge supv, master, dpo,bco, crane operator), subsea dept...

I heard, 40% pay cut? Kena PCSB pressed.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Not pressed, PSCB's pay are market normal while Shell are overpaid for all this while.
Is a different way of retrenchment by Shell, take it or leave it.

Not pressed but standardisation as per PCSB rate.

basic salary is same as working here, but if including allowance + yearly bonus + expat factor, it is more than 55% increase.
i cant directly compare my current job here vs there. right now im just a freelance working on contract basis job.
current job :
-No fixed contract duration (sometimes 3 months up to 1 year)
-No allowance at all, no insurance, nothing.
-daily rate salary, no come to work - no pay.

anyone here working in middle east can shed some light to me?

is there any chance someone from dcs/plc/instrument to join rig side?

Always working on platform but once visited drilling rig, the environment is totally different. really want to be involved in drilling operation. do you guys use specialized system or what?

So there really is a reduction in terms of pay.
Just that instead of reduction, the rate is normalised.

Shell is overpaid.

55% on monthly and tax free. Well, Saudi's cost of living are not that high, so you can go for it if you like, then jump again later on.

That if they willing to take the offer, some won't take because of ego
So indirect retrenchment are more appropriate word to be used. Just that once get retrenched, you got a offer direct
Funny is, "retrenchment" term being used, some will get mad about it

People that get high pay for sleeping in O&G companies will be very proud on this and most of the time can't accept this
Like our thread starter also the same, everyday sure will online and only will update the oil price when high, but now already 40 and he refuse to update

Define sleeping in O&G company pls..

Question.

For those that can be replace or that post can be closed at any 1 time.
